Boardroom

Interim Coach is out at Cesar Vallejo

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Boardroom

Interim Coach steps up at Cesar Vallejo for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Squad

Juan Cruz Franzoni signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Juan Cruz Franzoni commits to Cesar Vallejo for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Cesar Vallejo

Jhamir D'Arrigo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Juan Ayqqe out for 25 days

The medical room confirms 25 days on the sidelines for Juan Ayqqe, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Loan watch

Jordan Romero has seen enough of Alianza Lima

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Cesar Vallejo, and 1 appearances in 31 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Daniel Prieto loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Daniel Prieto. Cesar Vallejo will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Boardroom

Cesar Vallejo pull $2.1M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Market

Gianfranco López leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Gianfranco López leaves Cesar Vallejo the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

In brief
